Book Reviews

I just published a number of book reviews. It is not that I had not written them up when I finished the books, it just that I did not get around to publishing.

I am trying to do something different from just more general book reviews. I will give you a link to two or so normal book reviews. I may talk about the subject of the book, or make my own comments on the subject or just talk about a particular aspect or section of a book. I may also provide links to such things as biographical information on the author.

The difference is that I want to connect the book and the author what is available on the internet. This would be such things as the author's website or interviews with the author or YouTube items on the author, the book or talks by the author. I will also provide other links, if I feel they are pertinent.

So you can read the book and then watch a video with the author being interviewed or talking about his book. Or, you can watch the videos and decide if the book will be worthwhile to read.
